cis-2-(2-Bromo-1,1-dimethylethyl)azetidines, synthesized by monochloroalane reduction of the corresponding beta-lactams, were shown to be excellent building blocks for the synthesis of stereodefined 4-bromo-, 4-fluoro-, 4-acetoxy- and 4-hydroxypiperidines in DMSO. During these transformations, the initially formed bicyclic azetidinium intermediates underwent ring opening by a variety of nucleophiles
